Lawrence C
After trying several tutors for A-Level Chemistry, I can say for certain Lawrence has been my favourite as he is patient and helps you understand the topic in full to further consolidate knowledge. I’ve had him for months and would definitely say he’s helped me gain more confidence in chemistry. Would recommend him to anyone trying to improve their Chemistry grades.

Flora I
We are absolutely delighted with the English tuition Flora is providing for our son in preparation for his GCSEs. He is really enjoying her lessons and already finding them extremely helpful. Flora listens carefully, offers clear and thoughtful advice, and focuses on strengthening his knowledge in a way that feels supportive and encouraging. Each lesson is very well structured, which has really helped build his confidence.
Although he has only had a few lessons so far, he already feels they will make a real difference and help him focus on exactly what he needs to prioritise for his exams. This is exactly what we hoped Flora would deliver, and we couldn’t be happier with the start she has made.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a competitive course at UCL or LSE. Can a tutor help with their application?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students with university applications. They can provide support with personal statements, develop interview skills, and help your child explore their subject beyond the curriculum, which is something top universities love to see.
We're in Herne Hill and my child is at a very academic school. How can a tutor give them an edge?
In a competitive environment, one-to-one tutoring provides personalised attention that isn't always possible in a classroom. A tutor can focus on your child's specific areas of weakness or help them stretch and explore topics in greater depth, building the confidence and skills to stand out amongst their peers.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
You can use our search filters to find tutors with the right experience for your child's age and subject. You can also watch their introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and send them a message before booking to make sure they're a great fit.
Are your tutors properly background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors undergo a rigorous selection process, and we verify their identity and qualifications. We also require every UK-based tutor to have an up-to-date DBS check.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. With our First Lesson Guarantee, if you don't get on with your tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It's simple to use and allows for engaging, face-to-face learning from anywhere.
How much does online tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level. Tutors set their own rates, which are displayed clearly on their profiles, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Confidence often comes from understanding. By patiently working through difficult topics in a supportive, one-to-one setting, a tutor helps your child experience those 'aha!' moments. This success builds their self-belief, which they can take back into the school classroom.
Is it just for core subjects, or can you help with university entrance exams like the BMAT or LNAT?
We offer support in over 300 subjects. This includes core academic subjects as well as specialist help for university entrance exams like the BMAT, UCAT, and LNAT. Many of our tutors have specific experience in preparing students for these tests.
Can tutoring help with specific topics, like algebra in Maths or analysing quotes in 'An Inspector Calls'?
Yes, that's one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. If your child has a specific sticking point, their tutor can dedicate entire lessons to mastering it, using examples and teaching methods that work for them.
How many lessons will my child need?
This is completely flexible and depends on your child's goals. Some students have a few lessons to prepare for an exam, while others have regular weekly sessions throughout the school year. You can discuss what's best for your child directly with your tutor.
Do I have to commit to a block of lessons?
No, there are no contracts or minimum commitments. You can book lessons one at a time or schedule a regular slot with your tutor. It's completely flexible to fit around your family's needs.
